Ai Weiwei Fighting Quotations

If a society cannot even support somebody like me, then people ask: Who is under protection then? That's why there is such support for me. It is not because I am so beautiful or I am so charming. People feel: This guy is fighting for us.

Freedom of expression is a very essential condition for me to make any art. Also, it is an essential value for my life. I have to protect this right and also to fight for the possibility.

Anyone fighting for freedom does not want to totally lose their freedom.

The purpose of art is the fight for freedom,

I don’t want the next generation to fight the same fight as I did.
